and Identified as in the handwriting
of Wineskie. The defense admitted
all such papers.
The first witness called was Frank

as to the organization of the
company and its management and
hew about a year age he be.;an to

FOR FIRE PREVENTION.
Explorer Tells of His Dash to
North Pole.
Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who claims
to have reached the North Pole
mere than a year before Commander
Peary, backed by the power of the
United States government, left Amer-ica
on his last arctic expedition, lec-tured
in the Grand opera house Tues-day
alght. He del ghted a large and
intelligent Greensboro audience with
the thrilling story of his dash across
the frozen seas of the north to the
end of the earth.
Dr. Cook WJS introduced in a
graceful speech by Mayor Murphy,
who assured the distinguished explor-er
that he was axong a people who
loved fair play and would give him
a fair hearing.
Firm «nd steadfast in his belief
and conviction that he attained the
prize for which so many men have
died, Dr. Cook sooke with fervor
for more than two hours, and his
story was filled with bits of human
interest. He severely condemned the
methods of Peary, and while be did
no* say a single time that Peary
failed to reach the pole, he said
that Peary stole his own provisions
and his own data in a tremendous
effort to steal his own honor. "I
am fighting now," said Dr. Cook, "to
protect that honor, and- I am willing
and ready to produce all the proofs
that are necessary, if the occasion
should demand, I would back up my
assertions with my fist." said he,
and he raised that formidable mem-ber
before his face.
He told of the trying trip that
he and bis companions had in the
city a number of years ago. He was j dash to and frenn the pole. The ice

Many Greensboro Buildings Inspected
by Insurance Men.
A systematic campaign against the
"fire hazard" was waged in Greens-boro
Tuesday, more than 40 special
agents of fire Insurance companies
coming here to voluntarily aid the
officers of the North Carolina- Fire
Prevention Association in a thorough
inspection of the business buildings
in the city. The'inspectors divided in-to
groups of two, and in some of the
larger buildings half an hour was
given over to a thorough inspection.
Special efforts were exerted toward
the removal of rubbish, which so fre-quently
accumulates in basements
and attics, or behind desks, and sug-gestions
as to the proper placement
of flues, etc., were made.
At a largely attended masss meet-ing
held at the Y. If. C. A. at night
officers of the association told in de-tail
of the day's work and made sug-gestions
as to remedies for lessen-ing
Greensboro's chances of a disas-trous
fire through the accumulation
of combustible matter, defective flues
oi wiring. The association will form-ulate
certain city ordinances as the
result of the day's study and will
submit the same to the board of city
commissioners. St?.to President H. R.
Bush, of the Dixie Fire Insurance
Company, was active in the Inspec-tion
work and announced that the
association would hold a similar in-spection

Davidzon County Farmers to Inspect
Our Good Roada.
The Lexington Dispatch, which is
making a fight for good roads In
Davidson county, has arranged to
send fifty of the most progressive
farmers of that county on a free

be the successful participants in a
contest the Enspatch is now running.
In an announcement of its contest
the Dispatch says:
"The contest commenced January
10, and closes Saturday, March 9, at
12 o'clock noon. The fifty successful
contestants will be carried to Guil-foru
county on a special train on or
about the 15th of March. On arriving
in Greensboro they will be taken in
automobiles and carried through
Guilford county in view of the mod-el
roads, where they know how to
build them. Guilford county has not
as large a mileage of good roads ss
Mecklenburg, but it has the finest
system of roads in the state and the
best roads. The guests of the Dis-patch
will see roads In actual con-struction
and will see the roadbuild"
ers at work. They will also be taken
to the improved farms of the coun-ty,
to model school houses and
churches, to the modern farmers'

To Vote on Municipal Meat Market.
At the regular meeting of the city
commissioners yesterday afternoon
City Clerk Michaux reported that a
sufficient number of signatures had
been signed to the petition calling
upon the commissioners to establish
or call a general election for the es-tablishment'of
a-municipal meat mar-ket.
The commissioners ordered the
election to be held on Tuesday, Feb-ruary
27. . _ ,
The ordinance proposed calls for a
municipal meat market, pasturage,
etc, and that meats be sold at the
cost of production and sale. The
ordinance was prepared by Socialists
and it is through their efforts that
the election has been called. It is
the general opinion that it will meet
overwhelming defeat, many who sign-ed
the petition having since declared
that they will not vote for the ordi-nance.
It required several months to
secure a sufficient number of signa-tures
to make an election possible.

died at his home near Pleasant Gar-den
last Thursday morning. He had
been in feeble health for quite a

took place at the Tabernacle M. f

being conducted by Rev. C A.

court Tuesday on the charge
oi selling and delivering goods in-side
the city without taking out a

guilty of violating the ordinance In
question, but were allowed to go
without a fine, provided they pay
the yearly license tax of $10 charged
retailers in the city.
The Judgment in this case estab-lishing
a precedent will have a broad
effect upon suburban grocers and
other merchants. On all sides of. thaj
city there are placess of this ner
which have a larger trade Inside
city boundaries than they have

Explorer Tells of His Dash to
North Pole.
Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who claims
to have reached the North Pole
mere than a year before Commander
Peary, backed by the power of the
United States government, left Amer-ica
on his last arctic expedition, lec-tured
in the Grand opera house Tues-day
alght. He del ghted a large and
intelligent Greensboro audience with
the thrilling story of his dash across
the frozen seas of the north to the
end of the earth.
Dr. Cook WJS introduced in a
graceful speech by Mayor Murphy,
who assured the distinguished explor-er
that he was axong a people who
loved fair play and would give him
a fair hearing.
Firm «nd steadfast in his belief
and conviction that he attained the
prize for which so many men have
died, Dr. Cook sooke with fervor
for more than two hours, and his
story was filled with bits of human
interest. He severely condemned the
methods of Peary, and while be did
no* say a single time that Peary
failed to reach the pole, he said
that Peary stole his own provisions
and his own data in a tremendous
effort to steal his own honor. "I
am fighting now," said Dr. Cook, "to
protect that honor, and- I am willing
and ready to produce all the proofs
that are necessary, if the occasion
should demand, I would back up my
assertions with my fist." said he,
and he raised that formidable mem-ber
before his face.

Many Greensboro Buildings Inspected
by Insurance Men.
A systematic campaign against the
"fire hazard" was waged in Greens-boro
Tuesday, more than 40 special
agents of fire Insurance companies
coming here to voluntarily aid the
officers of the North Carolina- Fire
Prevention Association in a thorough
inspection of the business buildings
in the city. The'inspectors divided in-to
groups of two, and in some of the
larger buildings half an hour was
given over to a thorough inspection.
Special efforts were exerted toward
the removal of rubbish, which so fre-quently
accumulates in basements
and attics, or behind desks, and sug-gestions
as to the proper placement
of flues, etc., were made.
At a largely attended masss meet-ing
held at the Y. If. C. A. at night
officers of the association told in de-tail
of the day's work and made sug-gestions
as to remedies for lessen-ing
Greensboro's chances of a disas-trous

certain city ordinances as the
result of the day's study and will

To Vote on Municipal Meat Market.
At the regular meeting of the city
commissioners yesterday afternoon
City Clerk Michaux reported that a
sufficient number of signatures had
been signed to the petition calling
upon the commissioners to establish
or call a general election for the es-tablishment'of
a-municipal meat mar-ket.
The commissioners ordered the
election to be held on Tuesday, Feb-ruary
27. . _ ,
The ordinance proposed calls for a
municipal meat market, pasturage,
etc, and that meats be sold at the
cost of production and sale. The
ordinance was prepared by Socialists
and it is through their efforts that
the election has been called. It is
the general opinion that it will meet
overwhelming defeat, many who sign-ed
the petition having since declared
that they will not vote for the ordi-nance.
It required several months to
secure a sufficient number of signa-tures
to make an election possible.
